Dr. Manzanilla Allergy & Cold Meds Recalled

September 1, 2017 — A recall has been issued for Doctor Manzanilla Cough & Cold medicine and Allergy & Decongestant cough syrup due to a risk of infections with the antibiotic-resistant bacteria B. cepacia.

The products were sold by Mid Valley Pharmaceuticals and distributed to pharmacies and retailers in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas. The recall involves the following products:

  • Doctor Manzanilla Allergy & Decongestant Relief — 4 fl ounce bottles (118 ml) – UPC # 7 62558 00204 1 – Lot #23221701 – Expiration Date: 05/19

Contaminated products with Burkholderia cepacia can potentially result in serious infections, may be life-threatening in patients with compromised immune systems.”
